WEDDING : KELLY JEAN & JEFF

Kathrine Myrah — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 16:58:39 +0000

This amazing couple just got married! Thank you soooooo much for inviting me to share this sweet day with you!!!

Berwood Hills Inn is a beautiful Bed & Breakfast a little south of Lanesboro, Minnesota. It has a beautiful lawn area, just perfect for a garden wedding. The inside of the house would be sweet to get detailed pictures of, it is just beautiful. I’ll leave that for another day.

The afternoon was filled with joy, smiles, laughs…even a few tears. It was simply a breathtaking event. Lots of wishes of continued happiness…forever and ever.

Here are some of my favorite shots. Enjoy!

Last fall I did senior pictures for Ashley. I recently put together a book with some of her favorite images. It was really fun to see her face when I brought it over.

WEDDING : CAROLYN & RICHARD

Kathrine Myrah — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 21:06:03 +0000

This couple actually got married a year ago…in Norway! I knew they would come dressed in their bunads. Man, did they ever look stylish! Carolyn even re-created her wedding bouquet. They looked really nice! With the waterfall in the background it looked like it could just as well have been shot in Norway. We lucked out with some cooler weather, otherwise the wool outfits would have been totally awful to wear.

Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

COMMERCIAL : COPPER CRANE POTTERY

Kathrine Myrah — Tue, 03 May 2011 22:00:20 +0000

Back in March I drove some great back-roads by Lanesboro (Minnesota) to photograph some of the beautiful pottery created by Joel Sampson of COPPER CRANE POTTERY.

His studio has large windows that let all this wonderful light in. We even saw a deer, munching away on squash, right…and I mean RIGHT…outside his windows. Apparently it sleeps right up against the wall. What a fun sight!

Joel has some amazing work and I loved how he creatively added flowers to the vases to show the possibilities. Check out one of my favorites below; the sink with imprints of a child’s hands…how creative is that!!! Then there is the Jar Fountain (images 6, 7 & 8.) with the itty bitty flakes that look like gold. I had a hard time keeping my little Jakob away from that one when we saw it at a gallery. The request for “lift me up so I can see” went on and on and on…

The Japanese Lantern Fountain (last two images) was amazing to hear. Yes! HEAR. When Joel plugged in the simple fountain and the water was going it was the sound of RAIN. Just light and delightful.

Enjoy the images below and don’t forget to check out some more work on his website. The images below cover just some of his incredible work.

PERSONAL : SPRING HAS REALLY SPRUNG!

Kathrine Myrah — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 00:59:01 +0000

Yesterday was such a beautiful day! I’ve been carrying around a nasty sinus infection for a few weeks now and it felt sooooooooo great to be outside feeling slight kisses from the sun on my face. Of course it is raining and “cold” again now…and…hold on to your underwear…snow is expected this weekend! YIKES! Oh well, I suppose we go through this every spring. Still…there is just something magical about all the wonderful transformations taking place in nature.

Jakob had invited the neighbor kids over to check out what they could find in the pond just below our house. Of course he could not go “unparented”, so I grabbed my camera and tagged along. It was so sweet to see how they cleaned out every inch along the edge of the water looking for anything that moved. Every now and then I would hear shrieks of joy…and “come and look what we caught”! So sweet!

Check out the itty-bitty frog I captured. I was taking photos of the kids and suddenly heard this loud frog sound. We can hear them from our house and I always imagined that they were quite large. No bigger than my thumb!!! When they make their croaking sound they blow up their chest like a balloon. It was really crazy to get so close to the “action”.

Here are some of the images I enjoyed “catching”!

Yes! Spring is here!

PERSONAL : HOT PINK ORCHIDS RULE!

Kathrine Myrah — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 15:22:33 +0000

Outside it is a very typical early spring day…pouring rain, thunder and lighting. Then there is the cheer-you-up ANYTIME plant in our kitchen. I totally LOVE orchids and their beautiful design.

Let’s not forget the hot pink one’s that have been blooming for me since…hm…a very long time now. Just when the blooms would fall off…another shoot would start and pretty soon…more beautifulness in the kitchen.

Here is a shot to brighten your day! Enjoy!

MINIBOOKS

Kathrine Myrah — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:51:51 +0000

These small books are so awesome!

I have one with my own kids in my purse. The covers stick together with a magical magnetic force. LOVE the stylish brown leather cover. It is pretty awesome!

I made these two minibooks a while back, but I just wanted to show off how the clean design makes these so special. People that see these are ALWAYS impressed!

First up…Libby, Gabe & Pauly. Enjoy!

Next…sweet Fletcher. Enjoy!

BABY : FLETCHER

Kathrine Myrah — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:58:27 +0000

Christmas was crazy…but fun…

Sooooo…here I am again…behind schedule with lots of posts to do. I will try my best to catch up.

It was early December and the weather was icy cold. I got to meet this handsome prince and his sweet parents that just came in from a long trip from California. Just a few months old, Fletcher had amazing skin and so alert. After a little milk break he totally melted into a milk-coma before perking up and ready to play.

Thanks for bringing me your sweet baby! I really enjoyed meeting all three of you.

Here are some of my favorites…and no!…I’m not known for being able to cut too many images…so here goes… Enjoy!

A milk-break does the body good!

CARDS : CHRISTMAS

Kathrine Myrah — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:04:25 +0000

Just a few days ago we had our first snowstorm this winter. We were all excited for a new chance to play in the snow. Besides all the fun things we are planning on doing in and on the snow…what an amazing sight!!! We went to Caledonia for their Winter Wonderland parade…I felt just like a little kid…the snow just kept on falling…with flakes almost as large as snowballs (well, not quite, but it sounded good)…we got our boots and snow gear out and just enjoyed!

Another really nice thing about having snow…it just get’s you in that Christmas spirit! I will be baking gingerbread cookies this week, maybe some lefse and krumkaker as well. Mmm…it feels like Christmas!

I have also been busy making Christmas cards…for my clients. Don’t expect any cards until after Christmas from our family. : )

Here are some of the cards I have been working on this year. Enjoy!
